Counting date entries which are the same

[Guest]

Hi,
Within a post logging spreadsheet, the date of logging is automatically
entered against each entry on the day the data is input and formatted thus:
'21-Jun' . I wish to find out the daily min, daily max and daily average of
the entries over the year and, if poss to adapt the formula to reflect the
weekly min, max and ave over the same period.
Any help appreciated.

Sounds like a job for a pivot table

1. First create a Pivot Table giving the count of items by date. This will
produce a table about 365 entries long, one entry for each day of the year.

2. Then you can use simple MIN, MAX, and AVERAGE to get the desired values.

3. Then you can use MATCH and INDEX to get the dates on which the values
ocurred
